(tanka) an early bloomer

by LisaMay


an early bloomer
will show her frilly knickers
in flashy display –
exuberance of the young

overwhelms dull modesty

Author's Note:
'Bloomer' refers to flowers of course, but for another meaning, 'bloomers' were baggy underpants for women, usually made of cotton, which gathered at the waist and below at the knees. The term 'bloomer' is derived from a nineteenth-century garment worn by American women's rights activist Amelia Jenks Bloomer.
